At Neibaur Dental, INC, we understand that hearing you need a root canal might cause some anxiety. However, root canal therapy is a highly effective procedure designed to save your natural tooth and relieve pain.
Understanding Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy involves removing the infected or damaged pulp inside your tooth. This process stops the infection from spreading and preserves the structure of your tooth. Here is what you can expect during the procedure:
- Diagnosis and Preparation: Our dentist will first examine your tooth and take X-rays to determine the extent of the infection.
- Removing the Infected Pulp: We use advanced tools to carefully remove the infected pulp from the tooth.
- Cleaning and Sealing: The inside of your tooth is then cleaned, disinfected and sealed to prevent further infection.
- Restoration: To restore your tooth’s function and appearance, a crown or filling is placed.
Root canal therapy can often be completed in one or two visits, depending on the complexity of the case. The result is a healthy, functional tooth that can last a lifetime with proper care.
